Know any medicinal herbs?

We Answered:

echinacea---for viral infection
golden seal--for infections, and especially for infection involving mucus membrane.
Myrrh---for infection
Rosemary---make a tea and put it on skin for infections. Rub fresh rosemary under arms as deodorant.
Garlic---cures everything [just kidding]--for infections of all kinds, as well as circulatory health
Aloe vera--externally for burns or other skin irritations
I am not going to list all the herbal medicines I know; that would take too long.

Plants,herbs and flowers native to Switzerland?

We Answered:

The flora of Switzerland contains about 27000 different plants, too many for a list. This one contains many of them > http://www.wsl.ch/land/products/webflora…
But if they are native or even endemic and if they possess medicinal value is not reported, only threat and distribution. Lefthand you find a link to rare species.
Under "Links" you find many interesting info, unfortunately the most in German.

Another link to red list of plants and fungi > http://www.ch.ch/private/00070/00071/005…

Medicinal plants of switzerland and their use are to find in books only.

This site offers links to ( nearly ) all uses of medicinal plants including different skin diseases >

What perennial medicinal herbs grow well in full shade?

We Answered:

All herbs need a good amount of sun. It is very hard to try and reproduce nature inside of a house with herbs without some costly equipment.
